UTI/Yeast Infection prevention

Hi VP, I come with a question for you all.

Ever since becoming pregnant, I have had constant UTIs. I'm not too concerned about it because my googlefu and my dr both say that it's normal for pregnant women to get UTIs. The problem I have is that I literally have been on 4 different medications for UTIs! Every month that I see my dr, I leave with a prescription for antibiotics for a UTI/Bladder infection and its starting to get on my nerves. Especially because I'm having yeast infection after yeast infection either during or after my course of antibiotics. After the first two times, I really started drinking more water, cranberry juice, limited my intake of tea/sodas, and even started using wet wipes after using the restroom. I thought it would make everything better, but without fail, I still would leave the dr office with a prescription! I'm becoming exhausted with having to take antibiotics for UTIs and having to slather vaginal cream on my vagina for my yeasties.

What else can I do? I'm at my wits end and figured you amazing superstars would have some advice for me. Thank you tons in advance!

If you get another UTI, you could try taking capsules of uva ursi (or tea, if they don't have capsules in your country). It's a natural remedy which should not make you more susceptible to YI.
However, it is not as strong as "normal" antibiotics, so if your symptoms don't go away, you still need to go see a doctor!

Thank you! I'll take a look and see if I can find that.
